Home Made Curry!

Curry is delicious but can be daunting to make. Today I created a simple but wonderful curry dish. All together it will serve an army, and the dish itself only cost about $1.00 per serving!

You will need:
1 can of coconut milk
2-3 tbsp of curry
1.5 tsp of cumin
1 tbsp pepper (cracked)
salt to taste
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp garlic powder
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or the equivalent in another cut of chicken
1 white onion diced
1 green pepper diced
1 red pepper diced
1 cup baby carrots

Method
In a bowl whisk together the coconut milk and all of the spices. Taste to see if it is spicy enough. *remember the mixture will taste stronger in the bowl as no vegetables or meat have been added*
Put the coconut milk mixture, vegetables and chicken in a large pot and simmer on medium.
Simmer until chicken is cooked through and the milk has reduced about an inch.

Serve with rice


Notes:
- this recipe was spicy, so if you don't like spicy food as much i would recommed reducing the curry, and cayenne by about 1/4
- cooking chicken in coconut milk makes the meat incredibly tender! It also makes the chicken taste incredible. Although coconut milk is more expensive it is worth it every once in a while.
- curries taste great with many different additions. Why don't you try adding diced potatoes, mushrooms, or fresh tomatoes!
